BookCon

i am THRILLED to announce that i’ll be at ALA annual signing ARCs of HUNTING PRINCE DRACULA this year! if you’re in Chicago and want to come say hi (and i hope you do!), here’s where you can find me:

i also wanted to say a HUGE HUGE HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to my signings at BEA and BookCon. some of you waited in line for over an hour (!!!!!!) and i am so ridiculously honored and grateful for your dedication to my gothic book babies. you are all so awesome. thank you.

here are some pictures from the events with myself and author Lyndsay Ely aka my partner in BookCon crime (her debut is called GUNSLINGER GIRL and it’s fabulous for fans of WESTWORLD, btw).

can’t wait to see more of you on the road this fall! (tour dates and information will be announced in the coming weeks…stayed tuned for news on special guests and locations.)

hey friends! i have a couple of cool updates for you. first, my publisher is giving away TEN ARCs (advanced reader copies) of HUNTING PRINCE DRACULA on GoodReads!! be sure to enter and tell your friends to enter too — you never know if one of them will win a copy and then share it with you 😉

i’ll be in NYC in June for both BEA (Book Expo America) and The BookCon! i am SO THRILLED to be attending and honestly cannot wait to see you there. if you’re going to be in town for the festivities here’s where you can snag a signed ARC of HUNTING PRINCE DRACULA:

BEA: Friday June 2nd I’ll be in the Hachette booth trying to play it cool around James Patterson while he does a “James Patterson Booth Takeover” at 10 am. From there I have a signing at table 11 from 2–2:30pm.

BookCon: Saturday June 3rd i’ll be doing an in-booth signing with author Lyndsay Ely from 10-11 am. (Hachette Booth 2502-2503) Followed by a Meet and Greet from 1-2pm in room 1E03.

The meet and greet is a ticketed event for the first 100 people who sign up. It’s a bit more casual than a regular signing and we’ll get to chat and take pictures and basically nerd out over books. You’ll have to check their website to see how to get a ticket for that event: thebookcon.com

i’ll be handing out some special swag at the meet and greet AND during my BEA signing. (The first 50 people in line at BEA will receive the swag.)

i think that’s it for now! cannot wait to be back home in New York and enjoying the city and loading up on ALL the books. ❤

cannot believe that #BEA16 is almost upon us! i’m flying out tomorrow morning and will be snapping pictures of Chicago with my sweet friend, Stephanie Garber (author of one of my most highly anticipated reads: CARAVAL) and posting them on Twitter. i hope it’ll make my friends who are missing it feel like they’re there too. i’ll also post a BEA roundup on the blog next week. there *may* be a secret announcement that’s made…i’ll be sure to post it on twitter (and here when i return from Chicago).

we’ll be taking pictures of our favorite books and bookish things, and we’re even going to be on the YA authors buzz stage together with three other AMAZING authors (Sonia Patel, Aaron Starmer, and Billy Taylor). here are the details if you’re attending and want to say hi:

OH! i’ve also signed 150 bookmarks for people who are attending The BookCon this coming weekend. They’ll be given away with STALKING JACK THE RIPPER ARCs to the first 150 people who snatch them up at the Hachette Booth. (1716-1717.)
